The annual contest will be hosted by ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele and former “The Bachelor” star Chris Harrison. The judging position is merely the latest undertaking by Ciara outside of the music-making industry in recent years. The artist, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, appeared in the Adam Sandler comedy “That’s My Boy” in 2012, and she also starred in the musical drama “Mama I Want to Sing” that year. Likewise, she hosted the Billboard Music Awards alongside fellow hip-hop artist Ludacris in May, and she’s worked with fashion brands such as Roberto Cavalli as well. Her most recent album, “Jackie,” dropped in 2015.

It’s been a momentous year for the “Goodies” artist, as she married NFL star quarterback Russell Wilson in July. The duo, who wed in London, originally planned to tie the knot in North Carolina but decided to move the wedding in response to the state’s controversial LGBT bathroom laws, their wedding planner told The Knot this week.

The 911 call placed as a result of Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert’s domestic dispute from this past weekend has been released.

In the audio obtained by TMZ, the man who made the call on behalf of Tamar explicitly lists Tamar & Vince as the two involved. He also tells the operator that Vince bit Tamar’s finger before fleeing the scene in a cab, but an ambulance isn’t necessary.

The two artists are being sued by 17 attendees, who claim they were injured when the fencing collapsed during “The High Road” tour in Camden, New Jersey, on Aug. 5, according to TMZ. Snoop and Wiz reportedly yelled “Everybody in the motherf——g grass, bring your a– down here,” just before the fencing broke, according to the lawsuit.

The victims claim that by shouting that line, the pair ignited the stampede, which caused concert-goers to fall about 10 feet onto a slab of concrete. Nearly 40 people were hurt at the waterfront amphitheater event and several people were hospitalized after the collapse. One victim says that he suffered a fractured spine, the gossip site reported. Attendee Katie Colbridge tweeted that the mishap occurred when the duo switched stages. “A pile formed,” she tweeted. “It was when Wiz and Snoop came to the lawn on the smaller stage.”

Akon stopped by to talk with VladTV about his light up Africa Project, how he used to live without electricity, and how the politics of starting his project were extremely tricky.

Akon let us know that he grew up in Senegal a small country on the West coast of Africa. Akon grew up without electricity and running water, and when it came time to eat, cook, or wash he had to use the same water from a running water well for everything. “When I came to the United States, and [saw] the projects or what they claimed to be projects, Vlad I thought they was living in luxury, compared to what poverty is back home…” Akon explained that the US citizens have it a lot better than others around the world.

So what led to Akon lighting up Africa? His grandmother was the main inspiration. He explained she never moved from her hometown and still lived without electricity. “Every time I would come, I would try to upgrade her, but she would never take it… one day I said ma I’m not coming to visit you anymore… you have to at least let me put electricity in the house. Come to find out the grid was so far out; I don’t care how much money I had there was no way I could bring electricity to her.” That’s when he said something had to be done, not just for his grandmother but for everyone in the rural area living without power. “Without electricity, you can’t even begin to develop a country, let alone your own home.”

Akon got started by partnering with a some of his Billionaire friends he made along his career, and he wanted to build power plants in the five major areas of Africa so the countries could share the plants, but as he got his investors together, he began running into the politics. “I started to realize how deep it was cause this is the type of business that starts real wars, the politics was little heavier than I expected…”Akon explained it was too complicated for him to be dealing with, so while searching for another solution, he came across Solar Energy. “So I went to China, met up with some friends out there, some manufacturers, and aligned myself with one of the biggest companies in China, that’s own by the Chinese Government, that manufactures Solar…” Akon learned a lot while doing this project, like how there was a significant tax on solar products due to George. W Bush. “He did it because his main agenda was in oil, he needed the oil to keep burning right, so anything renewable he wanted to keep away because if effected the money.” Akon took advantage of all of the unused solar products, and the Chinese manufacturers gave him a Billion dollar credit line to start his project. Akon’s project is now in 15 countries, and he’s provided almost 16 million people in Africa with power, and energy.

Kodak Black just cant catch a break! The talented Florida rapper was supposed to get out of Jail last week, but with some many pending charges the judge changed his mind.

Now its only getting worse. Kodak’s camp told us he is being sent to South Carolina jail now because he is being charged sexual assault by some under age girls. Lets pray for Kodak! This is the 13th thing he has been charged with this year!

Mariah Carey‘s ex-husband has also revealed how he is flying cross-country to attend classes, after posting a picture of himself onboard a flight early on Monday. “Turning these Airplanes into School Buses!” he quipped.

He has also been sharing a series of quotes about the importance of education online, adding captions like, “Been getting Money now its time to get Mindful!!” and “Money Power Respect… Education Over Everything!!”

Cannon is squeezing school into his already hectic schedule — he is currently juggling his roles as host of reality shows “America’s Got Talent” and MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out,” while promoting his new single, “If I Was Your Man.”

The 35-year-old is also a father to 5-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, whom he shares with his soon-to-be ex-wife Carey, whom he is in the middle of divorcing. The former couple split in 2014 after six years of marriage.

The former Dirty Money singer, who was involved in some rather explosive moments on “Love & Hip Hop:Atlanta,” is expecting baby no. 3 with hubby, Tony Vick. Kalenna made the announcement on Instagram showing off her beautifully growing baby bump.

Kalenna and Tony welcomed baby boy Noah in December 2014, making their oldest child Meshach, 9, a big brother.

While this might be Kalenna’s third child the same can now be said for hubby Tony Vick, who many know has a history of being a player. The new baby will be Tony’s 10th child. Tony, has children with seven different women.

Many fans and haters have both congratulation and downed their recent announce but this happy couple doesn’t seem to be letting that phase them. We’ve seen Kalenna quick to go to war about her family and ensuring they are provided for. The new child I’m sure will be no different.
